Pumpkin/Carrot Garlic Bread
¼ cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 envelope active dry yeast)
½ cup water
1 cup pumpkin/ carrot puree
1 tablespoon sugar
4 oz margarine
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, approximately
½ cup bran
8 cloves of garlic grated
1 oz margarine
- In a one-cup liquid measuring cup, sprinkle the yeast over ¼ cup of lukewarm water which contains 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir just enough to get yeast wet. Allow the yeast to bubble and increase in volume until it nearly fills a 1 cup liquid measuring cup.
- Mix together the water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt.
- Mix together the yeast mixture and the water/sugar/canola oil/salt mixture in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the flour and bran mixture and add liquid mixture, and margarine and mix well. Lightly flour the countertop. Knead the dough for 10 minutes.
- Allow the dough to rise in a bowl covered with a towel until the dough is doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough. Gather the dough into a ball, manipulating slightly, if necessary, to be sure the dough is homogeneous.
- Heat pot with margarine and sauté garlic
- Paste mixture on rolled out dough
- Shape the dough into a loaf. Place the loaf in a lightly greased pan (seam side down). Cover the loaf with a clean towel to keep the surface from drying. The surface of the loaf may be lightly greased, if desired.
- Allow the loaf to rise until doubled in size.
- Bake the loaf at 400° F for 30 minutes. To prevent excess browning of the crust, cover the bread with a tin foil “hut” when desired brownness is reached (approximately 10-15 minutes into cooking).
- Immediately remove from pan and cool on rack. Coat top crust with margarine, if desired.
